Voleana Studio
We connect two worlds through design and sustainability
For some years, 3D technology and sustainability have been perceived as opposing concepts. 3D printing evoked images of disposable plastics, petroleum-based materials, and cold processes detached from nature. Craftsmanship, on the other hand, represented authenticity, a warm touch, and noble materials, but was often seen as slow, unpredictable, and unable to adapt to the challenges of the present.
“But the world has changed. And we have changed with it.”
Today, 3D technology has opened the door to breathable materials: biopolymers derived from orange waste, filaments made from reclaimed wood, and compostable polymers that can return to the earth at the end of their useful life. These materials not only reduce environmental impact but also open up a formal universe impossible to achieve with traditional techniques. And craftsmanship? It remains our anchor to humanity.
Because the machine, by itself, is cold. It needs the eye of the craftsman, his hand, his ability to decide when a texture is warm enough, when a finish is refined enough.
“Technology allows us to dream of impossible forms; craftsmanship makes them habitable.”
The people who bring Voleana to life
Behind every piece are people. People who believe that another way of designing is possible, and who open their doors every day determined to prove it.
Jordi Tenas
Founder and product designer
Jordi has design in his blood. Trained in industrial design engineering and user experience, he is passionate about craftsmanship and 3D printing technology. For years he watched traditional trades struggle to survive while technology advanced relentlessly. One day he decided he didn't want to choose. That the future wasn't going to be about giving up. That you could program an algorithm and, at the same time, be moved by the hands of a potter shaping clay.
At Voleana, Jordi designs each piece with the same obsession: that it be technically impeccable, formally evocative, and that it bear the inscription of the story of the person who will make it possible. Because for him, design is not just form; it is the bridge between what we imagine and what we can build with meaning.
Carlos González
Communication and marketing
Carlos came to design through words. He's an engineer but has specialized in brand communication. For years he told other people's stories until he decided he wanted to tell the ones that truly deserved to be heard. When he learned about Jordi's project, he understood that what they were doing wasn't just selling furniture; it was reconnecting people with the origin of things.
At Voleana, Carlos makes sure that transparency isn't just a word. He ensures that every piece tells its true story. That anyone who wants to get to know us can truly get to know us. Because for him, the best communication is the one that hides nothing, that lays its cards on the table and invites you to sit down and talk.
The people who shape Voleana
Behind every design there are also people who work magic, turning matter into usable objects that resonate in our homes.
Artisans, the hands that make possible what we imagine
A Voleana piece isn't born on a screen. It's born in a workshop. At a workbench. In the hands of men and women who have dedicated their lives to mastering a craft.
Working with local artisans isn't an aesthetic choice. It's a way of understanding the world. We believe that know-how can't be programmed, that the perspective of someone who understands the material is irreplaceable, and that controlled imperfection is what separates a living piece from an industrial one.
We collaborate with cabinetmakers, metalworkers, potters, glassmakers... People who have learned their trade from others, who work in small workshops, who know the names of their suppliers and the children of their customers.
In each product description, and in a special section of the website, we will introduce them one by one. Because we want you to know who is behind it. Because we want you to see more than just an object when you look at a Voleana piece. We want you to see a shared story.
Technology partners, the ingenuity that opens new paths
A Voleana piece wouldn't be possible with just hands. It also requires the precise eye of technology, the machine's ability to translate complex geometries into tangible matter.
Working with digital fabrication labs and 3D printing specialists isn't about being modern for us. It's about partnering with people who, like us, believe that technology can serve a better world. People who have dedicated years to understanding how filament can become structure, how an algorithm can generate a form no one has ever seen before, how printing can be precise while remaining sustainable.
They are engineers, programmers, and computer designers. People who speak in code but dream in matter. They have learned that the real challenge is not what the machine can do, but how to put the machine at the service of what truly matters: materials that respect the planet, processes that don't waste, and objects that deserve to exist.
In each product description, and in a special section of the website, we'll introduce you to them one by one. Their labs, their machines, their passions. Because we want you to know that behind every 3D printed piece there isn't just technology: there are people who have learned to make precision an art form.
They turn our digital dreams into reality . And then we take this material to the hands of the artisans, so that it can finally become something living.
